Cody Rhodes says he’s going to “try his best” to bring back the classic “Winged Eagle” WWE Title design.
Speaking on Monday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show,” the newly-crowned Undisputed WWE Universal Champion commented on trying to bring back the classic title design. He said,
“The side plates haven’t been changed yet. The Tribal Chief’s plates are still on there. A couple of things, we should just come out with it. This is what I got in the ring, so there is a level of specialness to this equity that has been put into it that I have a warm feeling about. I feel differently about it today.”
He added, “However, that said, I changed the title previously. I am not in charge of anything, I am no longer an EVP. I have no stroke other than the fact that I am the champion, but I just think it would be special, perhaps, to see a particular championship, one that I grew up on. That is the [crowd chants ‘Winged Eagle.’] Again, I’m not in charge of anything, Triple H is in charge of things, but you’re damn right, the Winged Eagle. If it doesn’t happen, don’t get mad at me. I’ll do what I did the last time. I’m going to try my best.”
While the podcast was taped on Monday morning, Rhodes has since had his side plates installed on the current belt.
